Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian break up

Paris Hilton didn't show up to best friend Kim Kardashian's birthday party at Tao in Las Vegas last Friday and apparently it's because their egos are clashing. Kardashian didn't want to go clubbing in Paris' shadow and Paris is pissed that Kardashian is being called the New Paris. Kardashian's former publicist says:

"Even when I would talk to editors of magazines and other media outlets about featuring Kim, they would comment on how they are moving past Paris in hopes to bring someone fresh to the spotlight, like Kim." What's more, the former PR man claims that Paris Hilton's other ex-BFF, Britney Spears, broke off their friendship because she was worried about her image. He also claims that Spears wooed Kardashian. "Britney was in NYC and kept texting Kim to hang out and go bowling or something."

So is being called the New Paris a good thing? It's not like being compared to Leonardo DaVinci or Albert Einstein. I mean this is Paris Hilton. It'd be more flattering to be compared to a giant slab of salami.
